I really don’t understand how one can call themselves a SW fan while accepting (and therefore even remotely liking the central premise of the movie) that Palpatine was actually alive the whole time and Anakin was a loser the whole time. The very center of this movie is anti-SW.
There’s something wrong here. It’s like all y’all care about is extremely surface level things and don’t think about what you’ve just seen. I just don’t get it.
Considering the reports that RoS is trying to crap what should have been TLJ and RoS into 1 film I think its safe to say that JJ atleast had a vision for the trilogy (whether that vision was any good isn't relevant for this).
TLJ then shat all over that vision.
That is the fault of Kennedy who should have kept Ryan on track and not given him the freedom to create something entirely different that doesn't fit.
ESPECIALLY when you then go right back to JJ to finish the trilogy.
Ignoring the quality of each individual film, the lack of structure and continuity between the trilogy is the fault of Kennedy and no one else.
You don't even need to compare it to the MCU which is indeed a huge line of films all connected. This is 3 films, a basic trilogy. If you can't manage to keep 3 films shot in sequence on track your not fit for the job, period.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
The best part of the prequel trilogy was the awesome beginning of the Clone Wars at the end of Episode II, Darth Maul in Episode I in general, Jango Fett, Yoda, the overall golden age of the Jedi, and all of Revenge of the Sith. There's a lot of good stuff in the prequel trilogy if you remove the bad stuff. Like you said, the Disney trilogy, there is very little good in it. Rogue 1 has been the only great Disney SW movie.
What's wrong with Papa Palpatine being alive? Didn't you hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Did you see his dead body? Was he a powerful Force user who could survive the fall? Sith Alchemy? Was it wrong of him to survive in EU as well? Is it wrong to incorporate legend stuff into the canon?
You are not a SW fan if you are not ok with the big P being alive. He's like the greatest character of the whole trilogy of trilogies.
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
What annoyed me the most was the beginning, when the fucking floating yellow text says, that Palpatine has returned. So betweeen episodes 8 and 9 the Emperor has returned OFF SCREEN and we learn that by reading text? SERIOUSLY?
JJ didn't have a vision, rip. TFA is literally predicated on the previous trilogy, relying on nostalgia to keep the audience entertained, nothing interesting or new is explored. Snoke is a one dimensional villian that is a copy and pasted Palpatine. TROS is TFA without the old ensemble cast to carry the film, even that didn't stop JJ from trying the same formula with the lazy reintroduction of Palpatine which collapsed bc the audience can see how blatantly cheap the move is - yes, TFA did the same thing w/ Luke driving the plot, Leia, Han etc, but the hiatus had blurred the fan boys' expectations and it was before the disillusionment
Rian at least explored new territory with TLJ, he had a vision. Only issue with TLJ was TFA and now TROS

Oh and where did the "Sith choir" come from in Palpatines "throne room"? Where do they eat, sleep, pee? What are they? This sounds like nitpicking but it really felt off having so many devoutees of the emperor there just for the kicks.
And I will never understand why they can't just use existing planets like Korriban. I think having the emperor there, would be waaaaaay better than a random new planet.

It can work, is the point, it's not a flawed analogy.
For the most part its Disney/K Kennedy's fault, they green lit productions with no over arching vision. And when they brought in a second director, they didn't ensure he stayed on the path the first director laid out.
Ahhhhaaahahahahhahahahaaaahahhahahahahahaha....I knew it would be bad, but this?...xD
Damn fine cam torrent I found... charging a star destroyer with goat-ponies, shooting down a stormtrooper with bow n arrow, god have mercy this was crap, like a couple of braindead fans got hollywood to do a movie for them..
